Obama Wins Big In Virginia

It's six in a row for the Senator from Illinois! And it's a massive blowout across the board. He won women, latinos, blacks, whites, and just about every other demographic group.

Matt Yglesias:
...a huge win for Obama. Fifty-six percent of voters were women, and fifty-eight percent of them went for Obama. College graduates went for Obama. Non-graduates went for Obama. New voters went for Obama. People who'd voted previously voted for Obama. Basically, everyone voted for Obama.

Obama even won Latinos, 55-45.

"There's no solace anywhere in these numbers" says [Keith] Olberman.
Up to the minute results for Virginia here. Maryland and DC as they become available.

On the GOP side, Republican voters are once again having trouble stomaching the thought of John McCain as their annointed one. As of 5:05pm he was leading Mike Huckabee by less than 200 votes out of over 100,000 counted thus far.
